Use the "accusation audit" to address concerns before they arise from "summary" of Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss,Tahl Raz

When dealing with potential concerns or objections, it's crucial to take a proactive approach. One effective strategy to tackle this is known as the "accusation audit". This technique involves addressing any possible accusations or concerns before they are even brought up by the other party. By doing so, you can demonstrate empathy, understanding, and a willingness to address any issues head-on. The key to a successful accusation audit lies in anticipating the other party's point of view. Put yourself in their shoes and think about what objections or concerns they might raise. By acknowledging these potential accusations upfront, you can diffuse tension and show that you are prepared to address any issues that may arise. When employing the accusation audit, it's essential to approach the conversation with a genuine desire to understand the other party's perspective. Listen actively to their concerns and validate their feelings before offering your own perspective. This approach can help build rapport and trust, paving the way for a more productive negotiation process.
